A Qantas spokesperson later confirmed that the Australian airline was asking customers not to charge the smartphones in the air, telling the Herald, “Following the worldwide recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 Personal Electronic Device (PED), we are requesting that passengers do not charge them inflight”.

So far, Samsung has offered refunds and exchanges for customers who bought the Note 7, but has yet to coordinate an official recall with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. If they had, officials say the smartphone’s batteries would be banned from passenger-carrying aircraft under FAA rules.
